LESSON 1 ASSIGNMENT
> Use a separate piece of paper for your Journal entry.
Describe the relationship
between the amplitude and
midline of a periodic function in
your own words.
REMEMBER
A periodic function is a function whose values repeat
over regular intervals. The period of a periodic function
is the length of the smallest interval over which the
function repeats.
PRACTICE
Wind turbines harness the power of the wind to
generate electricity.
One particular wind turbine consists of three
100-foot-long rotor blades that rotate around
the top of a 150-foot vertical shaft.
Use a protractor, a straightedge, and the given graph to
estimate the height of the blade tip when the blade is at
angles of 0, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. The arc on the graph
represents a portion of the blade tip's path. Assume the
blade rotates counterclockwise and the blade is at an
angle of 0 when the blade tip is directly to the right of the top of the vertical shaft.
This position is 0°…
